Chapter 253
Shen Rang glanced at it twice, his gaze darkening slightly.
Such a person would be unwanted even if left outside, yet he was sent to the Marquis's mansion!
Where did this picture book come from?
“It was Miss Yao who gave it to me. She said that the young mistress sent people to collect it,” Yunxi said thankfully. “Miss Yao even told me today that I should be secretly happy. I didn’t think much of it at first, but now it seems that it really is true.”
Sighing helplessly.
He should be the one secretly happy to have met Yunxi.
Shen Rang's gaze returned to the picture album, his eyes narrowing slightly.
There are many good people among the younger generation in Luoyang City, but none of them are in this picture book.
This picture book that Yun Wan gave me... there's a lot of something fishy going on inside.
Seeing Shen Rang deep in thought, a smile flashed in Yun Xi's eyes.
With such a huge weakness, if she doesn't seize the opportunity to make a big fuss, she'll have lived in vain!
"Zirong, don't think about it anymore," Yunxi said understandingly. "You must be hungry to come back so late. Let's eat first, so we can think properly after we've eaten!"
Think carefully about how to severely punish Yun Wan!
Shen Rang nodded, temporarily putting aside his thoughts.
The two went to the dining room and sat down. Seeing that Shen Rang was still lost in thought, Yun Xi said, "Besides, this matter can't be rushed. The young mistress has already made an appointment with Miss Yao for tomorrow. This was arranged a long time ago. We should at least wait until after tomorrow."
Shen Rang nodded, finally able to concentrate on his meal.

The next morning, Luo and her daughter got ready and left, only to return some time later. Yao Susu came to Jibai Residence again.
When Yunxi asked how she felt, Yao Susu pouted and said, "It feels a bit immoral, kind of scary."
Hearing this, Yunxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
How could it not be scary?
The other person was twelve years older than her, definitely an elder.
“You have suffered,” Yunxi said solemnly. “I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine.”
Yao Susu actually cooperated with her, and the two of them really drank a cup of tea.
"And your mother? How is she?"
“Of course I’m not satisfied either,” Yao Susu said helplessly, “but there’s nothing I can do. Judging from the picture book, that person is indeed the best.”
“Not necessarily,” Yunxi said mysteriously. “I showed the sketchbook to your cousin yesterday, and he looked really grumpy. I think there might be something fishy about the sketchbook.”
"Something fishy?"
Yao Susu paused for a moment: "You mean, my cousin-in-law found a bunch of unwanted, ugly, and broken things and stuffed them into my hands?"
"Hmm..." Yunxi blinked, "Maybe?"
Yao Susu's expression immediately turned strange.
She had never really thought about it this way before.
"What did my cousin say?"
“Your cousin wants to talk to Madam about this in person,” Yunxi said. “However, I think it’s best if you don’t tell your mother yet. It’s not too late to tell her after your cousin has given a definite answer. Otherwise, I’ll just be naive and assume he’s being suspicious, but what if things get out of hand?”
Yao Susu nodded: "I understand."
However, based on her understanding of her cousin-in-law, their current guesses are most likely correct.
"Okay, I'll keep my mother calm for now, and you keep an eye on my cousin. If anything happens, you have to let me know immediately."
Yunxi nodded: "Don't worry."
With the matter settled, Yao Susu sighed, "Xi'er, I'm so glad I met you."
After saying that, she drank the tea that had just been poured into her cup in one gulp.
Yunxi smiled but said nothing, and finished her tea.
Unexpectedly, for several days in a row, Shen Rang was busy from dawn till dusk, unable to get away from his work.
